Trip to the Bronx

For the month of October I've been doing some freelance work with the Wildlife Conservation Society, which means going to the zoos and aquariums of New York. One particularly lovely fall day when temperatures reached near 70 Chris trekked up to the Bronx Zoo where I was spending the morning working so that we could wander through the 240 acres of wildlife. After seeing a wide array of animals we hiked about a mile over to Arthur Avenue, a strip known for its authentic Italian delights. We strolled through a a few blocks of cute shops and restaurants, and bakeries, and butchers before we settled on a lovely little restaurant with amazing pastas and breads. Being a bit tipsy from the wine we then picked up a plethora of cute little Italian pastries to bring back to Brooklyn. All in all, a lovely day.
